How Long Has This Been Going On? (Ira Gershwin / George Gershwin) I could cry salty tears Where have I been all these years A little while, tell me now How long has this been going on? There were chills, up and down my spine Yes, there're thrills I can't define Listen sweet, while I repeat How long has this been going on? Oh I could feel that I could melt Into heaven I'm hurled Oh I know how Leif Erickson felt Finding another world Kiss me once, and then once more Oh what a dunce I was before What a break, for heaven's sake How long has this been going on?
